the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long when $5000 will only buy
a used one."

pack is ridiculous."

mail a letter?"

outside help at the store."

cost 50 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the
garage."
(8). "Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible
to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long
as the girls."
(9). "Also, their music drives me wild. This `Rock Around The Clock` thing is
nothing but racket."
(10). "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let
Clark Gable get by with saying `damn` in `Gone With The Wind,` it seems every
movie has a `hell` or`damn in it."
(11). "Also, it won't be long until couples are sleeping in the same bed in
the movies. What is this world coming to?"

(14). "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put
a man on the moon by the end of the of the century. They even have some
fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."

$75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll
be making more than the president."
(16). "Do you suppose television will ever reach our part of the country?"
(17). "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be
electric. They are even making electric typewriters now."
(18). "It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married
women are having to work to make ends meet."
(19). "It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire
someone to watch their kids so they can both work."
(20). "Marriage doesn't mean a thing anymore, Those Hollywood stars seem to
be getting divorced at the drop of a hat."
(21). " I'll tell you one thing. If my kid ever talks back to me, they won't
be able to sit down for a week."

grow crops."
(24). "I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a
whole lot of foreign business."
(25). "Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes
half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best
people to congress."
(26). "Why in the world would you want to send your daughter to college?
Isn't she going to get married? It would be different if she could be a
doctor or a lawyer."

take a cigarette from ANYONE. You never know what might be in it."
(28). The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously
doubt they will ever catch on."

rich for my blood."

that's fine, but nothing will ever replace trains."
(32). "I don't know about you but if they raise the price of coffee to 15
cents, I'll just have to drink mine at home."

my wife learn to cut hair."
(34). "We won't be going out much anymore. Our baby sitter informed us she
wants 50 cents an hour. Kids think money grows on trees."
(35). "Cars which dim their lights by sensors, automatic transmissions, and
who knows what else? Pretty soon they will drive themselves."
